jso i guess we’re going to meet every one of the kid’s parents instead of one of Rachel’s dads. the girl can’t get a parental figure to save her life. her mom’s too busy scamming on puck to even talk to her!!!

one of rachel’s dad was actually in one of the episodes from season one when she made that music video with puc, finn, and jesse. Her dad was the guy with the shot gun and shot all three boys. don’t remember the name of the song or episode number.

other than that i do not recall any other episode of rachels’ dads. If they bring her dads into the show, i would like to see no contradicting actors with that one episode aforementioned

It was the pilot when she looks at her dads in a picture in her locker. She talks about how a surrogate was chosen and using a mixture to make a baby then not knowing which one of her dads was her real father. One was caucasian and seemed Jewish and the other an AfroAmerican youner man. It was in a voice over as she talks about how her dads gave her everything to be great dancing and singing lessons. I just don’t think they will humanize Rachel anymore with bringing in real people to play her dads thusly, making her more lonely and on her own with no interactment except her relationships with Finn and the Glee club. I feel this is what we are to experience with Rachel’s surroundings and to never really visualize her dads pleasure or discontent with her. We are to assume there is total autonomy causing Rachel to be whom she is practically raising herself alone. Thusly, we finally come to see why Rachel was and has been the way she was. My opinion only.

major glee fan love to see rachels dads want to no when its ing back on tv again for england what channell and what time please do not want to miss an episode at all please relpy and i will love u for ever more

Forgive me if I’m wrong, my memory’s not what it used to be, but didn’t we at least SEE a picture of her dads in the pilot? Granted I know it’s not the same thing. And, I’d like to point out we never saw Maris Crane or Vera Peterson for instance. Some characters work fine offscreen. Like Sam should still be.

They won’t show Rachel’s parents, because at the first eposide (The Pilot) , they showed a photo of Rachel’s parents and those guys aren’t even actors.
That’s what Ryan said on a video (but i can’t find it now)

BS excuse all they need to be is a black guy and a jewish guy and people will accapet that. Come on people suspend belief with this show all the time. they would get over her dads not looking exactly like the picture.

Oh I know, POOR RACHEL, she never gets any storylines or songs or anything, poor poor girl, she’s always getting shafted, amirite? Omg the entitlement of Rachel, I can’t with you guys. You get EVERYTHING but it’s never enough.

He played several dads before. It’s so awkward.
90210: Liam’s
Secret Life: Amy’s
However, Sam is by far, the most interesting guy on the show… even better than Blaine or Kurt. Yes fangirls, I said Blaine or Kurt!

People, chill out already! There may be underlying reasons we know nothing about as to why we get to meet Sam’s dad right now. And I think John Schneider is a great choice. They look like they’re from the same gene pool. I just want to know when Samuel from ‘The Glee Project’ is going to be on. He was and is my favorite from that show & was ripped off when they decided to share the prize with Damian. I hated the way he was almost always smiling in last week’s episode.

I am with you Paul. Thumbs down. Glee’s overpopulated already. And I don’t see why Sam’s father is relevant or interesting. Instead of bringing all these new (and totally unnecessary and uninteresting) characters, they should focus on the EXISTING ones like Tina (who hasan’t had a real storyline) or Artie (who’s been overlooked again and again, being cast as the musical co-director was just small potatoes). No more irrelevant characters, please!

YAY! So happy about this! When I saw the tweet, I guessed that it would be about John Schneider. They kinda look alike, and he’s amazing, so this is definitely wonderful casting. I’m way too excited about this, I know, but I love him. I have ever since Smallville, and I can’t wait to see him on Glee. (Here’s hoping he sings, but I don’t see it happening.) <3

i like the casting and i like trouty mouth but there is no point bringing him back the show already has way to many characters i mean hell original character Tina and Artie barely get any screen time anymore…why not focus on them instead of bringing back a filler character that did nothing for the show last year

Can you please reconsidered what are you saying? Like, just because Sam is back Tina and Artie won’t get enough screentime/plots? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If you wanna blame something blame the ridiculous Sue’s storyline, the extremly amount of time they wasted presenting another school/glee club, etc. Don’t blame Sam who happens to have some connection with this two characters and the other characters who doesn’t get propper storylines.

I agree that Tina & Artie don’t get enough screen time. But what’s up with so much screen time for Brittany & Santana. I liked it better when they were merely in the background. I still say either one or both are someone’s niece/daughter/granddaughter. Yes, they are talented, but it’s beginning to look like ‘The Brittany & Santana Show’ lately. And I always love it when Will sings & he hasn’t done much lately either.

Did you not see any of the first 5 seasons of Smallville or the series finale with the Always hold on to Smallville line that was so popular for fans of the show. Fans of Smallville know exactly who he is and there probably a lot of younger adults out there that know him as Jonathan Kent instead of Bo Duke.

Sam wasn’t there the first season..SO much for going back to basics. I am so tired of all these secondary characters getting family and we have nothing for Rachel. Shelby doens’t count she had nothing to do with her up bringing plus they aren’t even doing anything with that .

For all of you demanding Rachel’s parents: Enough with the parents! Enough.

I want more singing and storylines from the characters we already care about.

Enough with the parents, the “Glee Project” stars, the special guests. Let’s get back to what made “Glee” so good to start with: Great interaction among a group of young, conflicted kids and their teachers.

YAY! great news! and so what we havent met alot of the kids parents. We will probably never meet Rachels dads and the only characters that
we’ve seen parents from are: Finn, Kurt, Quinn, Mike, and Puck (we saw his mom for like a second so that might not count).

Good casting for Sam’s dad. And he can sing too. I met John Schneider last year at a convention. He was one of my crushes during my teen years. He has aged very well and even looks younger in person and he’s either nearing or over 60 at this point. He also looks smaller (thinner) in person although he is 6’5. He was very warm to my husband and I. (Yes I know it was probably acting but had a warm handshake.)

Excellent casting!! Big name actor for Sam’s dad. This bodes well for Chord Overstreet’s upcoming storylines on Glee this season. If they brought back Chord to be second fiddle and swaying in the background, I don’t think Ryan Murphy would bother finding a famous actor to be his dad.

I’m a huge “Smallville” and John Schneider fan but I don’t understand why Chord Overstreet is coming back to “Glee” let alone why the audience will get to see his father when Sam is such a bottom tier character. I’d prefer to see the parents of the original club members: the Cohen-Changs, the Berrys, the Joneses and the Abramses over the Evanses.

I’m definitely excited to see Sam’s parents! If Sam is transferring back, I think it makes sense that we’d see his parents, and this actor seems like a good choice. I’m just so happy Sam’s back. He’s one of my top 3 favorite characters.

If there aren’t twelve members there is no competition and if there is no competition then there is no Glee Club.

I think some of you are forgetting that the core four can’t carry a show on their own. For this show to continue to work they NEED a rotation of twelve or more members. As of episode four they don’t have that, and from the spoilers I’ve heard they won’t have that until Sam comes back.

His parents will most likely be around long enough to sign him back into McKinley then disappear forever. I don’t see what the big deal is.

This is SUPER dumb is what it is. Love John Schneider but Chord Overstreet is useless as is his character Sam. The show put Sam in so many stories last year and none of them clicked. Clearly the show does and can go on without Sam. No need to bring him back at all.

“offensing other people’s opinions”? Gerry is just sharing his/her opinion. Not everybody is going to like something, and the people who don’t like it are just as entitled to share what they think as the people that do.

Really excited for this! The show needs to put the spotlight on characters that we don’t know as much about. There’s plenty of Rachel characterization already, it’s pretty laughable to act like anyone else getting parental development is taking away from her character.

Wow. Again with the parent complaints. We’ve seen Rachel’s mom, Finn’s mom, Kurt’s dad, Quinn’s mom and dad, Mike’s mom and dad, Puck’s mom, plus we’ve mentioned Rachel’s dads regularly, and there has been talk of seeing Rory’s mom, Brittany’s mom, and Santana’s parents. This is a high school set comedy. You all just spent a large amount of time complaining about how introducing Sam’s parents will limit attention on the core cast, yet all you seem to want is Rachel’s dads…… It’s illogical. It doesn’t make sense.

I am so thrilled by this news! That is great casting and it sounds like Chord/Sam is finally going to get a meaty storyline if we are meeting his parents. Get us some spoilers please! I’ve only seen one episode this season because I’m not interested in watching The Blaine Show, but I’ll definitely be tuning in for episode 8.

enough with everyone complaining that rachel’s two gay dads not showing. They probably wont so that the chatter can keep up. Anyway how is showing rachel’s parents help her character? They absolutely support their daughter they love her.

Its purely fan wants. Whereas the parents that appear greatly affect their childrens current upbringings.

Finn’s: Living with a single mother and the relationship btwn the two overcoming how she dates and eventually marries Kurt’s dad

Kurt: Struggling with his homosexuality, Burt is his rock, accepting him fully.

Quinn’s parents: pregnant daughter storyline with a strict unaccepting father and a mother who sits quietly until she finally breaks free from her husbands control.

Mikes parents: how he overcomes the obstacles his dad put in front of him so he could pursue what he wants breaking the racial stereotype

Emma’s parents: shows how she became the way she was, creating her OCD issues

Sam’s dad: His father lost his job and was the very reason Sam had to leave the state

How do they support her all we know is the few things she has said. Where are they with Shelby around or her getting into school or the campaigne to rid the school of art education. They have been many time to introduce them.

Guys, the show is called GLEE! Not The Rachel Berry Show.
Rachel’s a good character, and she gets a lot to do. And she has at least one song just about every episode. There are other characters too who are just as good as Rachel. Please, get off your soapboxes, stop complaining, and enjoy the show.

Yeah I figured it was at the beginning kind of the characters you never saw like Vera from Cheers or Maris from Frasier. She mentions them, but you never see them. I thought they were waiting to cast them later. Now Sam gets a dad? Guess we’ll see Santana’s people before we get to Rachel’s folks.
